Scott McKenzie returns Wednesday to Mix 105.1

The last time I wrote about Scott McKenzie, he thanked me for posting his "Jiffy-Pop hairstyles of the past."

We'll post them again because the Mix 105.1 host has great news: He will be back on the air Wednesday.

On the station's blog, he thanks listeners for their support after he announced he is battling cancer a third time. Turns out, bad news begat good news.

"We've been humbled to our knees with appreciation," McKenzie writes. "It's been more than awesome. And look what great medicine your shower of support has been! Four days less in the hospital, less post-chemo meds, and now a quicker-than-expected return to the radio. Not just for an hour this time, but hopefully all morning every day starting tomorrow bright and early, 5:30 am-10."

He thanks listeners for their loyalty over the years.

"I'm eternally grateful for the way you've emotionally carried me back," he writes. "I'm not exaggerating. You have made a huge tangible difference in my recovery. My family and I can't thank you enough."

We're thrilled to have you back, Jiffy-Pop hairstyle or bald. Let's play Pyramid!

Just last week, McKenzie explained his absence from his popular morning show. "I've battled non-Hodgkins lymphoma twice before and had just had an 'all clear' exam in February," McKenzie wrote on the station blog.

He started feeling bad in March and had tests in May. This time around, he has received stronger chemo than he had in his first two bouts in 2008 and 2012.

Last week, he vowed he would be back. And so this quick return is news to cheer.
